Yes this is like my 3rd topic on my main menu, but that’s because i really want my main menu to be good. I believe that if you really present a good main menu, the player will get hooked. The main menu is the first thing the player sees, and so the first thing the player can judge and come up with his/her opinion. After a person has an opinion, it remains solid for the most part (opinions on games) so basically ye, just trying to make this main menu as best as i can.
So i’m done with the main buttons, and now i’m moving on to other stuff such as the currency displayer. However, its looking VERY bad at the moment and i cant seem to figure out how i can fix this. I’m not sure if its the coin decal or if its the layout. Here’s what it looks like:
I’m just showing the UI’s, please don’t worry about the actual main menu.
So as you can see, the coin is supposed to look old and chipped, to add the the horror/ antique vibe, but i think it still sticks out like a sore thumb.
If you have any pictures or ideas of a new layout i can use on the currency displayer, please leave a reply.
What if you made a second version of the currency logo but you made it in the same scribbled/white style as the other text on the screen? Then in a screen with more color you display your colored version.
Right now it’s very jarring to see suddenly some color detail randomly there. This means you’ll either have to add more color to the rest of the menu or change the currency icon.
This is just my opinion though so if someone has a better suggestion you might want to listen to them
Not really related to your question but I just think I should point out that using images for custom fonts will mean you won’t be able to localize it later on. Just for the heads up.
